Hi 👋
Question for both of you
what’s one movie you can rewatch over and over without getting tired of it?
Hello, I would like to know which directors you admire the most and which filmmakers had the biggest influence on your work.
I enjoyed Abigail and the Scream movies but I love Ready or Not. I think it’s absolutely kick-ass and I’m pumped for Here I Come. So my questions are: How much of a collaborative team effort is the Radio Silence crew when working on movies, and did you know that there’s a [YouTube compilation](https://youtu.be/geMdBhTmNLs?si=AQlYQOO_vA9kkbEF) of Samara banshee screaming Weaving in Ready or Not with captions like “shrill roar” and “wounded yodel”?
Where did the thought of having the Ready Or not movies have to do with Hide and Seek come from?
Horror movie that’s inspired you the most?
For the inevitable Ready or Not 3, can you subtitle it “You Can’t Hide”?
What made you cast 90s teen icons for Ready Or Not 2? I’m specifically talking bout Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Hatosy.
If i give you tour in Japan, can i make a cameo in your next movie?
On a serious note, how has the movie industry changed over the years for you guys? Is there anything you wish you could bring back? Anything you wish you could change?
Want to read my script? Think you’d like it.
Who’s more competitive at board games between the two of you?
I’m excited for the ready or not sequel!!!
Also the new mummy!
Also have you guys have checked out Halloween Horror Nights Orlando lore involving the icons of the event. Including Jack the clown?
The 3th anniversary is coming up for the event. Would love what you will think? Would you make a movie about one of the icons?
I’m interested to see what you all will do!
Any more horror projects too? Such a huge fan. I’m glad you came so far. 🙂
I really enjoyed both of your Scream films! Also a big fan of Ready or Not and Abigail!
There were some unfinished plot threads leftover after Scream 6. With the change in the creative team, are you able to share your “what if” intended vision for Scream 7? We need more Josh Segarra!
Hey guys, looking forward to the movie!
The ending to the first Ready Or Not was one of the most memorable endings I had seen in a long time. Was the ending shot the way you intended from the beginning, or were there any changes to the ending made during production?
Go to movies to watch to relax/get out of scary horror mode?
What was your version of Scream 7 if you guys were able to complete the trilogy
Ready or Not is the movie that got me into horror, so thank you for creating one of my all-time favorite movies!
I believe I read somewhere that Abigail and Ready or Not take place in the same universe, and Kathryn Newton will have appeared in both franchises. If this is true, will there be an in-universe explanation for this or is it a happy coincidence? (Also, thank you for finally pairing up Samara and Kathryn, I’ve been dying to see them in a movie together!)
you guys have done great original work with the Ready or Not films and Abigail, but also balanced it well with some great reverential franchise work with your Scream films and VHS contributions. These have all been horror adjacent films with a comedic, self-aware bent, that tone matches the 90s/00s Mummy franchise well so you are a natural fit.
With Lee Cronin’s Mummy film due this year, and the Mummy franchise being such a storied and diverse one, how much are drawing inspiration from the Fraser/Weiss films, and how closely are you looking to looking to hue or depart from the previous films/reboot attempts?
Did you guys have a sequel story in mind while filming the first Ready or Not or was it something that came up after the fact?
Big fan of all your stuff! I know you guys make a lot of horror movies with action but, after the upcoming Mummy, would you like to have more of a go in the action genre? Are there any action stars you guys would love to work with if you did?
Hi Matt & Tyler! Congrats on the sequel! Very much enjoy your work and am looking forward to watching it. I do have one question though:
Since the Ready or Not films and Abigail are set in the same world, what’s your explanation on Kathryn Newton and Kevin Durand being in both Abigail and Ready or Not 2 as different people?
Thanks and take care!
Were there plans to bring Kirby back again for Scream 7? Were we ever going to meet Sam and Tara’s mother? Was Sam’s new love interest playing the long con as Ghostface? What *can* you tell us about where your version of Scream 7 would have taken us?
